Happy new year to all our loyal listeners! We look forward to more discussions in 2024 about how to live our best lives with our dogs... on that note, on to this week's episode: In life we are involved with many 'games'. Some games go forever, yet have many short term games within them. The goal of marriage is to stay married. Goal of health is to stay healthy. Well the goal of dog training as an infinite game has many finite games that need to be addressed and won for success and progression. Panos explores these ideas and hopes it helps your goals and mindset coming into the new year. Thank you for listening!

Dogs mourn the loss of a significant other just like people. It can be a hard time for both us as owners and of course, our other dogs. Panos offers some advice on what to do to help with your grieving dog as he just received news of a client's beloved dog Thor suddenly passed away and their other dog Daisy has not been herself. The advice shared by Panos can be also applied proactively to minimise issues that may arise in the future. Dogs don't live long enough, take a minute to remember the ones that have left us behind, reflect on the good times and cherish what we currently have.   Thank you for listening!
